I love making pizzas with my bread maker by kalpol in c/foodporn@lemmy.world

You don't even need a bread maker. Couple cups of flour, yeast, oil and salt with some warm water in a bowl mixer makes most excellent pizza dough.

I don't know about slim but I love OpenSUSE. It is super stable, I've run it for about a billion years. You can use the installer to just choose the server light install.

II use Debian for some build machines.

They're all headed that way. And Google wants to do it to PCs too.

Ditch Ubuntu too. Mint or OpenSuse are very good alternatives.

Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately by kalpol in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I need full on segregated machines sometimes though. I've got stuff that only runs in Win98 or XP (old radio programming software).

virtualizing PFSense. What else works besides ESXi for virtual networking? (lemmy.world)

with the demise of ESXi, I am looking for alternatives. Currently I have PfSense virtualized on four physical NICs, a bunch of virtual ones, and it works great. Does Proxmox do this with anything like the ease of ESXi? Any other ideas?

Plex is not great for privacy or ownership these days. Jellyfin or Kodi are much better.

OpenSUSe. Tumbleweed as a rolling bistro is amazingly stable, yast is nice, and it all just works great. Leap for the servers, and things are solid.

Zoneminder is awesome if you want to keep your security footage to yourself. (zoneminder.com)

Zoneminder is a pretty solid setup for IP security cameras, and the zmninja app is really nice too. I had tried it years ago but got back to it recently with some sketchy IP cameras. I just put them in their own VLAN, no Internet access, Zoneminder does motion detection and event recording, and so far I'm quite pleased with it.
